Semi-global sampled-data output feedback disturbance rejection control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper investigates the semi-global output feedback disturbance rejection control problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with additive disturbances using linear sampled-data control. Aiming to reject the adverse effects caused by the uncertainties and unknown nonlinear perturbations which may not satisfy the strict feedback or feedforward structure, a new generalised discrete-time extended state observer is proposed to estimate the disturbance at sampling points. An output feedback disturbance rejection control law is then constructed in a sampled-data form which facilitates digital implementations. By selecting adequate control gains and a sufficiently small sampling period to restrain the state growth under a zero-order-hold input, the semi-global asymptotic stability of the hybrid closed-loop system and the disturbance rejection ability are proved. Both numerical example and an application of a single-link robot arm system demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of the proposed method.     

Adaptive output feedback control of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown time delays

This article studies the adaptive output feedback control problem of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown time delays. The systems considered are dominated by a triangular system without zero dynamics satisfying linear growth in the unmeasurable states. The novelty of this article is that a universal-type adaptive output feedback controller is presented to time-delay systems, which can globally regulate all the states of the uncertain systems without knowing the growth rate. An illustrative example is provided to show the applicability of the developed control strategy.

Global output regulation for output feedback systems with an uncertain exosystem and its application

This paper presents the solvability conditions for the global robust output regulation problem for a class of output feedback systems with an uncertain exosystem by using output feedback control. An adaptive control technique is used to handle the unknown parameter vector in the exosystem. It is shown that this unknown parameter vector can be exactly estimated asymptotically if a controller containing a minimal internal model is employed. The effectiveness of our approach has been illustrated by an asymptotic tracking problem of a generalized fourth‐order Lorenz system. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Constrained robust model predictive control via parameter-dependent dynamic output feedback

This paper considers output feedback robust model predictive control for the quasi-linear parameter varying (quasi-LPV) system with bounded disturbance. The so-called quasi-LPV means that the varying parameters of the linear system are known at the current time, but unknown in the future. The control law is parameterized as a parameter-dependent dynamic output feedback, and the closed-loop stability is specified by the notion of quadratic boundedness. An iterative algorithm is proposed for the on-line synthesis of the control law via convex optimization. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the controller.     

Adaptive output feedback control of uncertain nonlinear systems based on dynamic surface control technique

An adaptive output feedback control approach is studied for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems in the parametric output feedback form. Unlike the previous works on the adaptive output feedback control, the problem of ‘explosion of complexity’ of the controller in the conventional backstepping design is overcome in this paper by introducing the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique. In the previous schemes for the DSC technique, the time derivative for the virtual controllers is assumed to be bounded. In this paper, this assumption is removed. It can be proven that the resulting closed‐loop system is stable in the sense that all the signals are semi‐global uniformly ultimately bounded and the system output tracks the reference signal to a bounded compact set. A simulation example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Global asymptotic tracking for nonminimum‐phase nonlinear systems in output feedback form

The problem of global asymptotic tracking by output feedback is studied for a class of nonminimum‐phase nonlinear systems in output feedback form. It is proved that the problem is solvable by an n‐dimensional output feedback controller under the two conditions: (a) the nonminimum‐phase nonlinear system can be rendered minimum‐phase by a virtual output; and (b) the internal dynamics of the nonlinear system driven by a desired signal and its derivatives has a bounded solution trajectory. With the help of a new coordinate transformation, a constructive method is presented for the design of a dynamic output tracking controller. An example is given to validate the proposed output feedback tracking control scheme.     

Transient performance for discrete‐time singular systems with actuators saturation via composite nonlinear feedback control

This paper is concerned with the transient performance improvement in tracking control problems for linear multivariable discrete‐time singular systems subject to actuators saturation. A composite nonlinear feedback control strategy is considered, and the resulting controller consists of a linear feedback law and a nonlinear feedback law without any switching element. The nonlinear term leads to a varying damping ratio of the closed‐loop system and yields a small overshoot as the output approaches the target reference, whereas the linear component is designed to achieve a quick response of the closed‐loop system. Two composite nonlinear feedback control laws by both state feedback and measurement output feedback are addressed. An illustrative example is included to show the validity of the obtained results.

Global stabilization of a class of partially known nonnegative systems

In this paper we deal with the problem of global output feedback stabilization of a class of n-dimensional nonlinear nonnegative systems possessing a one-dimensional analytically unknown part that is also a measured output. We first propose our main result, an output feedback control procedure, taking advantage of measurements of the uncertain part, able to globally stabilize the system toward an adjustable equilibrium point in the positive orthant. Though quite general, this result is based on hypotheses that might be difficult to check in practice. Then in a second step, through a theorem on a class of nonnegative systems linking the existence of a positive equilibrium to its global asymptotic stability, we propose other hypotheses for our main result to hold. These new hypotheses are more restrictive but much simpler to check. An illustrative example highlights both the potentially complex open loop dynamics of the considered systems and the interesting characteristics of the control procedure.     

Dynamical Output Feedback Stabilization Of Mimo Bilinear Systems With Undamped Natural Response

This paper considers the globally asymptotic stabilization problem of multi‐input multi‐output bilinear systems with undamped natural response. Under the conditions for asymptotic stabilization by static state feedback control and system detectability, two output dynamic feedback controllers with saturation bounded control are constructed. The global asymptotic stability of the closed‐loop system is verified by Lyapunov stability theory and LaSalle's Lemma. An example is given to demonstrate the obtained results.     

Adaptive output control of uncertain nonlinear systems with non-symmetric dead-zone input

This paper deals with the adaptive output feedback control problem of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with an unknown non-symmetric dead-zone nonlinearity. The nonlinear system considered here is dominated by a triangular system without zero dynamics satisfying polynomial growth in the unmeasurable states. An adaptive control scheme is developed without constructing the dead-zone inverse. The proposed adaptive control scheme requires only the information of bounds of the slopes and the breakpoint of dead-zone nonlinearity. The novelty of this paper is that a universal-type adaptive output feedback controller is numerically constructed by using a sum of squares (SOS) optimization algorithm, which ensures the boundedness of all the signals in the adaptive closed-loop without knowing the growth rate of the uncertainties. An example is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Semi-global output regulation for linear systems with input saturation by composite nonlinear feedback control

To improve transient performance of output response, this paper applies composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) control technique to investigate semi-global output regulation problems for linear systems with input saturation. Based on a linear state feedback control law for a semi-global output regulation problem, a state feedback CNF control law is constructed by adding a nonlinear feedback part. The extra nonlinear feedback part can be applied to improve the transient performance of the closed-loop system. Moreover, an observer is designed to construct an output feedback CNF control law that also solves the semi-global output regulation problem. The sufficient solvability condition of the semi-global output regulation problem by CNF control is the same as that by linear control, but the CNF control technique can improve the transient performance. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by a disturbance rejection problem of a translational oscillator with rotational actuator system.
